Ocean-grown seaweed on scale in the ocean to decarbonise supply chains

Through proprietary R&D, Nordic SeaFarm has unlocked the ability to grow sustainable biomass (seaweed) on massive scale in the ocean. Seaweed is a functional crop with an ultra-low climate footprint. It has the potential to play a vital role in decarbonising industries and transforming future applications. It contains structural fibres and nutrition, and can help substitute fossil-based raw materials in future material applications, e.g. bioplastics, coatings and packaging solutions.

The need

EU emissions need to be cut by at least 55% by 2030 and supply chains decarbonised. Europe’s oceans are underutilised in producing raw materials for bioplastics, energy and food. Seaweed is a regenerative biomass with an ultra-low climate footprint that can play a vital role in this transformation.

The solution

Through proprietary R&D, Nordic SeaFarm has unlocked the ability to grow sustainable biomass (seaweed) on massive scale in the ocean. Seaweed is a functional crop with an ultra-low climate footprint. It has the potential to play a vital role in decarbonising industries and transforming future applications. It contains structural fibres and nutrition, and can help substitute fossil-based raw materials in future material applications, e.g. bioplastics, coatings and packaging solutions. 

The value proposition

Seaweed is processed into valuable sub-products such as:

  • Materials: Granulates and formulations to be used within packaging, and bioplastics.
  • Food: Sustainable ingredient to add nutrition and taste.
  • Plant care: Organic source of nitrogen and phosphorous used in regenerative farming practices and enhance plant yield.
